Income Tax officials continued their raids for a second day on properties linked to former Odisha Health Minister Naba Kishore Das, investigating alleged tax irregularities. The searches are underway at his residence and several business establishments.
The operation, which began early Thursday, covered multiple locations including Sambalpur, Jharsuguda, Bhubaneswar, and surrounding areas.
In Sambalpur alone, five locations were searched — Das’ residence at Mudipada, Hotel Mandarin at VSS Marg, a hotel in Bhalupali, a shopping mall in Ainthapali, and the house of an associate in Sahajog Nagar, sources said.
During the raids, officials reportedly seized a computer hard drive from Hotel Mandarin and examined various financial documents.
So far, there has been no official statement from Das’ family regarding the ongoing IT department’s raid.
Earlier in January this year, the IT department conducted a series of raids targeting properties linked to the family of the late BJD leader in Sambalpur.
